Four Magazines You Should Start Reading in 2K15. We Need to Make It Easier (and Safer) to Talk About Suicide. What happens when an elite American university kills grade inflation - Quartz. Grade inflation is endemic at American colleges and universities.

The most common grade at Harvard, for example, is a straight A, according to its student newspaper. The distortion has the potential to make high marks mean less, give bad information to degree programs and employers on student performance, and distort how people choose their majors. Those concerns prompted three professors at Wellesley College, a private women’s college near Boston, to study the effects of capping grade inflation for most classes at the school in a paper recently published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives.

The policy led to a significant reduction in the typical gap in grades between science and math majors and those in the humanities and social sciences.

The complete guide to working out before work. Life inevitably gets in the way of your gym date.

That’s why people who exercise in the morning are more likely to stick with it, Barbara Brehm, a professor of exercise and sport studies at Smith College in Massachusetts and author of the recently released textbook, Psychology of Health and Fitness, told Quartz.
How to Trick Your Kids Into Reading All Summer Long - Daniel Willingham. Don't bother taking away the iPad or setting minimum page counts.

Instead, find sneaky ways to leave your children alone with books—and then see what happens. As the school year ends, students’ thoughts turn to summer vacation staples like swimming, camp, and popsicles. Teachers—and most parents—would like them to think about reading, too. School and district officials offer summer reading lists, hoping that specific recommendations will move students away from video games and toward books.
Punching Gloria Steinem: inside the bizarre world of anti-feminist women.

Every so often, one woman engages with me on Twitter who is against women's suffrage.

That's right - she believes women shouldn't have the right to vote. I always hoped it was a fake account, but no - this anti-suffrage enthusiast runs a blog where she writes about religion alongside recipes. It seems the only thing we have in common is a love of beets. When men are against feminism, it's frustrating, if ultimately predictable - groups with power have always been loathe to give it up. But when women come out against gender justice, it feels worse: no matter how fringe, the rise of the anti-feminist woman is not just baffling but a betrayal. Obviously "women" aren't a monolith, and neither are the issues that they care about or believe in. Last week, for example, the US supreme court's Hobby Lobby decision left most women's groups livid.

This morning, I had one of the most extraordinary and exciting moments of my life.

I interviewed Michael Morpurgo. And now, I'm sitting here and typing away in the Guardian offices, where I have been allowed to spend the day. For any young reader or writer, this is the absolute dream. So why have I told none of my friends, none of my teachers about what I'm doing today? Why have I kept potentially one of the most inspiring days of my life a secret?
Yes, cleaners do a dirty job. But we don't deserve rubbish wages. This week, Tony Abbott talked about my job in parliament – he talked about cleaners.

Masters of Love - Emily Esfahani Smith. Every day in June, the most popular wedding month of the year, about 13,000 American couples will say “I do,” committing to a lifelong relationship that will be full of friendship, joy, and love that will carry them forward to their final days on this earth. Except, of course, it doesn’t work out that way for most people.

The majority of marriages fail, either ending in divorce and separation or devolving into bitterness and dysfunction. Of all the people who get married, only three in ten remain in healthy, happy marriages, as psychologist Ty Tashiro points out in his book The Science of Happily Ever After, which was published earlier this year. Social scientists first started studying marriages by observing them in action in the 1970s in response to a crisis: Married couples were divorcing at unprecedented rates. Psychologist John Gottman was one of those researchers.
The Creative Class. NEW YORK, United States — “Everyone has that one friend who knows everyone and knows the coolest places to go or the best eyebrow waxer. I want that to be Lucky,” Eva Chen, the recently installed editor-in-chief, says of her vision for the publication.

“I want it to be the approachable, cool fashion magazine.” Chen’s appointment, announced in mid-June, marks the quick ascension of a newcomer to the editor-in-chief ranks. Indeed, Chen, 33, is the youngest editor-in-chief at a major American fashion magazine by more than a decade and the first digital native to rise to the position.

Chen has upwards of 50,000 Twitter followers, 59,000 Instagram followers, and Tumblr posts that regularly receive hundreds of notes.

Why You Hate Work. 'Empathetically Correct' Is the New Politically Correct - Karen Swallow Prior.

When I was attending graduate school in the late 1980s and early 1990s, political correctness reigned supreme. Lassoing the powers of language, literature, and the law, the movement dubbed “PC” initially worked toward the good goal of greater inclusiveness for marginalized communities. Eventually, however, bloated by the riches of the ivory tower of academia and provoked by the excesses and exclusivity of the good-ol’-boy culture of Wall Street, political correctness morphed into a tyranny of speech codes, sensitivity training, and book banning.
